Identity
Many are identified by what their ego has accomplished or allowed them to accomplish. They attribute that value to the ego, where the ego was just a window. It’s often argued we need an identity. I don’t in the least disagree, we certainly do, but we shouldn’t mistake the finger for the moon it’s pointing at. We need this being that we are, and need to not sabotage it with doubt, or a belief that in any way who we are is insignificant or invalid. If it were, then how in this infinite world did we arise at all?
Your way isn’t out of order. Your feelings aren’t out of control. There is change, but this is necessary. It’s life, and living things need flow.
“I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are.” Frances Moore Lappe
“The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.” Richard R. Grant
“The identity of one changes with how one percieves reality.” Vithu Jeyaloganathan
